Andrei Alexandrescu

I know this is an important book, usually mentioned as one of the books you must read for c , but I think is intended for library developers. I you are a plain application developer this is too much. It would be nice to understand the tecniques, even if you are never going to use them, but I still think is not worth the effort.

A clear and informative guide to one of the most interesting new programming languages of the past few decades.

Collection of the authors ideas about template programming.

The book left me with a considerably deeper understanding of template programming.

Unfortunately, the content is structured in such a way that it can not easily be remembered. In my opinion the book "Abrahams, Gurtovoy - C++ Template Metaprogramming" does a better job at that. I find it impossible to remember long-term what the responsibility of all those traits classes was.
